What Should I Do About This Girl I Like?


I am a sophomore in high school. I am fifteen. (That wonderful age where the most irrelevant dramas take up 90% of your mind and ruin your day) I am a lesbian, and their is a girl whom I really like.
I have never had a girlfriend, (and neither a boyfriend) so I am a little clueless on how to approach her. To make matters worse, I am not even sure if she is gay herself. She has that gay air about her. You know, that homosexual energy. She does dress slightly masculine, (which I understand really says nothing about a person’s sexuality) and her hair is cut short. I know for a fact that she is single, and she does support gay rights, the main question here is wither or not she is gay herself.
She is a new student. (junior) She has only attended my school for a couple of weeks now, and she still has that “lost” attitude a person has when at a new place. It seems as if she has not found a group of friends or niche, so this really is the best time for me to make my move. I would just go up to her and strike up a conversation, but I am afraid that at this point it would too awkward. You see, for the past couple of weeks she and I have been sharing these odd glances at each other. I am unsure as to how to explain them. It is as if their is something hanging in the air between us, yet it may just be me imagining things.
I am simply confused as to what to do or how to approach her. I have lunch with her, and I have one class with her. I am just too afraid that she is going to be weird-ed out by me. What do you suggest I do?

Sophomore In College Having A Hard Time Finding My Niche In College And Making A Close Group Of Friends…?


First of all, I’m not friendLESS, which is a good sign. However, I do not feel like I have a solid group of friends that provides that social stability/support. I am currently a (female) sophomore in college and I am having a hard time finding my niche or close group of friends in college. I feel like most people make their friends from their hallway freshmen year. Last year I got unlucky and lived in a dorm that attracted the types of people I specifically could never find myself being friends with–the superficial party animals. I also roomed with a girl who seemed to be on the same page as me (ie: neither of us fit in with the types of people who chose to live in this dorm) but she wasn’t interested in being friends with me for some odd reason, and grew to dislike me for almost no apparent reason.
I remember within the first week we both felt like everyone in my hall clicked off very quickly and before I knew it, both of us were alone, and she ended up transferring out after the first semester. Looking back, I kind of wish I had too because I didn’t fit in at all. But for some reason I thought if I stuck it out maybe it would get better.
So that explains largely why I didn’t make that many friends my freshman year when I “should have”. The school I’m attending also has about 50,000 undergrads, so it can be difficult to make the connections.
This year, I’m living in an apartment with random roommates (and will probably find myself, embarassingly, doing the same thing my junior year :/). While I have some friends, I want a stable group of friends, but I feel like all the upperclassmen already have a group of friends and aren’t looking for any more. Plus, it is difficult to break into an already formed social circle. My problem is, I have a lot of trouble following through with relationships and turning acquaintances into friends. I have people who I sit with in class, see at work, etc. but I have an extremely difficult time taking relationships to the next level. Its not that I’m that fearful of rejection, I feel like the whole process of asking to get food or hang out will be awkward. I’m also afraid that it isn’t appropriate to take things to the next level.
At this point, I feel like it is most critical to make friends because in the working world it’s even more difficult. I would even like to find a mate in college if possible, but I don’t know if that will happen or not either.
It just seems like everyone else has found their niche here and is comfortable with their adult life whereas I feel like I am just floating around without any stable social relationships to keep me grounded. Again, I am not in a position where I have zero friends. I do have one really good friend who I’d consider reliable. I have two other friends (who are also mutual friends with each other), but both of them are social butterflies so I really only feel like an option to them. So they’re not very reliable because they both already have their own separate group of friends.
What can I do to improve my confidence in my social life?

Do Girls Dislike Intelligent Guys?


I’m a sophomore and I still haven’t had a girlfriend in high school. There’s a bunch of girls that like me but they are all either gang affiliated, too nerdy, or too annoying. Anyways, I saw this girl I really liked but I don’t talk to her. In the end I couldn’t find a way to get to the girl so I sent her a message through chat and she said that she didn’t know me…….Anyways, she knew who I was but just kind of rejected me. I’m cool with friends even though I’m smart and still try to fit with everyone instead of being an outcast. Why is it that the girls that I want always reject me? Shes had a couple of boy friends and she dumped them all. Is this girl stuck up? Shes pretty, but I wouldn’t consider her too popular. Or is it because she knows I’m smart and involved in school?

How Can I Make Close Friends My Sophomore Year In College?


I am in my second semester of my Sophomore year in college. I have people to sit with in class, people who I do community service with (I’m in a community service club) people I feel comfortable texting to go to the gym, study with, or get food with but, I don’t have any close friends. I don’t really have anyone to hang out with. On Friday and Saturday nights I usually end up studying by myself and I just feel like a complete loser. At this point everyone already found their niche and has a concrete group of close friends. I feel like unless you are really outgoing (which I am not) it is almost impossible to inject yourself into an already formed group of friends and become part of that group. I feel incredibly lonely here because i don’t have any satisfying relationships with people. Nobody really cares about me here since I am not part of anyone’s close friends group. I am just that extraneous friend that is nice to have but nobody really needs.
College is supposed to be a great experience where people figure out who they are, experiment, and have a ton of fun. I feel like I am missing out on everything that is wonderful about college. At this point, I want to graduate already and put college behind me. I wish I didn’t feel that way but I do. I am frustrated that making close friends is so hard for me. I feel like everyone else kind of makes friends naturally and has an easy time “clicking” and connecting with people. It is supposed to be fairly easy to make friends in college. I am so scared that if I can’t make close friends in college how am I going to make friends after I graduate? Making friends usually gets harder when you get older. I just wish I didn’t have to worry about all this. All my friends from High school made a ton of close friends in college and they are all having a great time. Everyone always looks forward to going back to school after breaks and dread it. What is wrong with me?

Does Changing Majors In College Reflect Badly For Graduate School?


So I recently changed my major, as a sophomore undergrad. They’re both in related fields, and my interests remain the same. Will grad schools count on that as an inconsistency on my part, and will that count against me?
It would be pretty easy for grad schools to tell I changed majors, since I took one niche class required for my old major. Also, I go to a pretty well-known (in academic circles) schools, so the classes in specific majors are well known too.

Xavier University??(cincinnati)?


Hello.
I have been looking at collages lately, I came across Xavier University and I liked it. I know it is Roman Catholic affiliated, but accepts all religons, does this affiliation make a difference in the education? Also I’m Christian, would it matter? I know the tuition is expensive and I come from a low class family, would I have a chance? I have a gpa of around 3.7 to 3.9 and on a practice ACT I scored a 28. I’m only a sophomore..I want to go into the education school(Early childhood development and montessary as graduate) Are these good pragrams? Also do I have any chance of getting in?
Thank You
